Here are the MANY reviews that I've gotten and have been too lazy to write back too. (Word of advice to readers: Don't put something off that might just grow out of control . . .)
REVIEWS ARE GOOD!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-
psycho king: Yep, no wimpy Gohan in this fic. My idea is to keep it as a Gohan / Videl fic, but I guess that it's up to the reviewers. But so far it's staying the way it is! ^.^
smoothtalker: Heh, I can't tell you if you're right, but you put enough people to raise your odds!
P4PaigeMH: Well, not a lot I can say . . .
MiraiTrunksGohanGTVegetasAngel: (Wow, big name! Good imagination.) Well, so far the pairings are staying as a Gohan / Videl. I personally like that pairing, but I guess that it's up to you guys!
Kitty: I guess that it's safe to assume that something like it will happen. You never can tell though, I tend to have an insane imagination! I'm also very thankful for your compliment on Videl's personality.
Snoopy's Magic Doghouse: Well . . . . I really want to tell you now what the answer is, but I'd have to kill you. You'll just have to wait.
SwitchBlade: Hnnn, ass kicking machine . . . . Interesting nickname!
Great Saiyaman: Thank you for your compliment!
Realm9: Pretty close, but not quite there. I'll give you that one hint.
mariel4000: Not much that I can say to that either.
Gohan's girl Psycho Annie: That is an interesting idea, but I'm not very good at love triangles. If anyone has any advice, then I'll consider one, but if I don't then Lime is just going to be a friend and there will be no attempts to go further.
RC: Same as the others who just entered the contest . . .
Silver Spoon: (Same as above . . . . again . . . . )
The Bat: I'm glad that you agree. The 'goodie-goodie' Gohan kind of scares me at times. He's to pathetic for his own good . . .
lGreen-Lanternl: Well, apparently nearly everyone thinks that it's Inuyasha as one of them. I've gotten a lot of 'I don't know's' for the second person. . .
Gohan00: I'm glad that you liked the story! (Those are the good reviews . . . from people who care about SOMETHING OTHER THAN JUST THE CONTEST!!!)
Kylena: YES! Someone answered the questions! Thank you very much for your opinion in the matter as few others have given me theirs . . . (HINT, HINT!)
Gohan-Chan: I'm glad that you like this story as well. And your other question; you'll just have to find out! ^_^
DarkAngel-Raven: Well, this chapter is like the response to that review!
mysterywriter: Ouch. Well, I guess that you've got a right to state your opinion. I don't mean to dissuade a good reader or anything, but judging by the other reviews for a G / V fic, you might not like this very much. Sorry to rain on any parades . . .
FireDemonLord: Well, I'll accept your vote for the pairing, but it's rather one-sided for a G / V. Maybe I'll do another fic that's Gohan / Lime, but at the moment things aren't looking bright for that pairing. Don't let this dissuade you though! I'm not going to make this fic all Gohan / Videl romance. I'm not even sure if I put romance as one of the descriptions!
Angel of Migranes: Heh, can't really respond much.

Silence is Golden
Chapter 5: Ki Mystery
#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=##=#=#=#=
'What was that?' Gohan thought as he flew through the woods around his house, weaving through the many trees. "I felt something. I know I did."
Gohan growled under his breath as he powered up and shot into the sky. Something wasn't right. A few moments after he'd released the Dragon Balls, he'd felt an evil ki. It wasn't that close, but it was incredibly fast.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, spreading his ki out like a sonar wave. There was nothing for at least seven miles. Then he heard something a little west of him. Concentrating all his ki in that direction, he tried to find out what was so close.
Nothing.
He was sure that he'd heard something, but there was no ki signature in the area. This was starting to piss Gohan off. He didn't like surprises and the fact that the Dragon Balls were out when it happened only worried him more. But, like always, his worry seemed to become anger. "Come out! I know that you're there." He yelled from his place floating above the woods.
Whatever was blocking the ki dropped, revealing a staggering amount of power. Staggering compared to what he'd dealt with in the past seven years, in other words humans. This power wasn't even a quarter of his, but he had a theory that it was being masked.
"Well, well, well. It seems that there is a saiyan with something more than an ego." A voice from behind him said in a joking tone. Gohan whirled around, but there was nothing there.
"Heh! It'll take more than that to find me!"
"Wanna' place any bets on that?" Gohan growled as he powered up some more; a glow forming around him from the excess ki.
"I can feel it now." The voice said, full of confidence, "I can feel your suppressed power! It's incredible!"
"I'm not even transformed. Now if you want a fight, come out now." Gohan said as the glow grew even more.
"Gladly!"
Gohan never had much of a chance. It was as if an incredibly strong energy signature had suddenly appeared directly behind him. The demi-saiyan turned just in time to see a fist fly at his face; he didn't even get a chance to dodge!
Gohan grunted in pain as he was sent into the ground, leaving a small crater as evidence of the power behind the fist.
Whoever was up there was gone again. There was no ki signature anywhere, no sign that there was anyone else in the woods.
He closed his eyes and concentrated on his senses. Before the attack, he'd been able to feel the disturbance in the wind. He'd been able to hear a slight whooshing sound, apparently being the guy moving; now that was gone as well. 'Damn! Where'd he go?!'
There was just nothing. He'd been in the perfect position to be attacked, since he'd have to get out of his meditative state before he would be able to fight back, but there was nothing. 'He might have ran.' Gohan thought, 'But I've never met an enemy as confident as he was turn tail and run after beating me into the ground. I didn't even get to feel what his ki was like, good or evil.'
Gohan stood up and realized that there was a warm liquid of some kind streaming down his face. It almost felt like drops of water when it was raining, but there wasn't even a cloud in the sky.
His head hurt like hell though, and at the moment his priority was to make the pain stop! Putting the palm of his hand against his forehead, he felt the liquid again. Removing his hand, he found it had a crimson fluid on it; blood. 'What did he hit me with?! That was no ordinary guy.' Well, obviously he wasn't. The guy could fly, suppress ki, and even knock him five feet into the ground.
"That . . . . hurt." Gohan mumbled as he made his way to the small creek by his house. He didn't want anybody to know that he'd gotten into a fight, it would make his mom angry.
As he washed his face in the cold water, he reflected on his training, or lack there of. He definitely hadn't gotten any weaker sense his fight with Cell, he might have gotten a little stronger though. If so, wasn't by much. His training had been too off and on, no real pattern. He'd gone two weeks straight without exercising a single punch before, but then he'd usually spend some time training afterward.
His mind, however, was another story. He'd constantly meditated and his senses were waaaay stronger than they'd been when he'd fought Cell. That's what was wrong with that fight. He didn't get any information on his opponent.
"I need to get into a more solid training schedule." Gohan said to himself as he continued to wash the blood off his face, "I should have been able to beat that guy into a pulp without even . . . . damn. I'm beginning to sound like Vegeta."
With his face now looking back to normal, with the exception of a lot of scratches and scrapes, he made his way back to his house.
There was a new foe on the loose, and he had a feeling that he'd need all the training he could get. Apparently the 'Gold Fighter,' as Satan City had dubbed him, would be taking down a lot more bad guys. Even if they were humans, it was an excuse to his mom that would let him use more than a few good punches.
#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=##=#=#=#=
AN: I'm very sorry for leaving it off there. The next chapter should be out soon, but it's now 10:00 at night and I wanted to get something posted before I went to bed.
I'm also pushing the 'PAUSE' button for my other contest on who 'Neo-Gohan' is based on. At the moment, there is another thing that needs to be decided and fast as it's rather crucial to the plot. This idea actually came from one of my reviewers and I'm running a blank on ideas, so I'm asking for your help on this on!
I am going to have Gohan be a 'super hero' for Satan City; the problem is that I need a disguise idea. Gohan is going to keep the name 'Gold Fighter,' though. No GS and no stupid poses! I'm also not allowing any headgear beyond glasses (That means no helmets of ANY sort!). If you have a disguise idea, submit it in a review; you will be credited if I go with your idea or something close to it. (It's not really a disguise since there's not much covering his face; it's more like a new fighting gi.)
Well, that's the newest 'contest.' I know that it's rather lame but I really need to get some ideas as there is going to be some bad-guy-bashing going on pretty soon.

PS: Sorry about how most of the chapter was the review response section. I would have made them an author's note or something, but ff.net is being, well, I'd rather not voice that opinion. ^_^ (There might be little kids reading this, PG13 or not . . .)
PSS: It's 11:00 here, so there are probably a few grammatical / spelling errors in this chapter. If you spot anything too obvious, email me and I'll repair it. Thank you!
